This is the project of the Online Cartonnage Retreat 2023 - the Keepsake box and album.

INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT INCLUDED with the kit - they are available for members of the Cartonnage Club OR for those that purchase the online course separately at: www.colorwayarts.com/online

This DIY cartonnage Kit comes with all cardboard you need to make your own fabric  keepsake box and album or variations, as shown in the pictures. The pieces of paper board (chipboard and poster board) are precut in the right sizes you need for this project. The finished box closed will be 11” x 9 3/4” x 2”. With this DIY kit there is no worries about cutting paper. The chipboard used in this kit is 100 point (0.1 in) thick, extra heavy, so this box will be very sturdy and well finished! 2 Strong magnets and 4 steel discs are included for closure, but variations of closures are suggested in the online course. Fabric and other contents showed in pictures are not included. 

DIY kit also includes pieces to make the cover of an  "album" . Internal pages are not included as there are many options, so suggestions are also given in the online course.

For making the box you will need this kit, two coordinating fabrics - 1 yard for the favorite one that will be the lid and 1/2 yard for the coordinating one, white PVA glue (Glue All - Elmer's), rotary cutter, cutting board, a small paint roller with tray, paint brush, masking tape, scissors, Kraft knife, instant glue (like Super glue - gel).

Cartonnage tools (spatula, acrylic spacers and corner tool) are needed for  a better finishing of the project. Find them in the tools section of the shop.
